Law360 has recognized Cooley among the 2025 Capital Markets Practice Groups of the Year. This recognition marks the fifth time since 2016 that Law360 honored the firm and its lawyers with this award based on work on capital markets transactions. David Peinsipp, Cooley partner and co-chair of the firm’s global capital markets group was quoted in the profile of the team, noting “We take a lot of pride in the fact that whenever there’s some new ground to break, Cooley’s at the forefront of that.”

Peinsipp highlighted Cooley’s work to complete two initial public offerings (IPOs) done during a historic US federal government shutdown, including MapLight Therapeutics’ $250+ million IPO and concurrent private placement. The firm was also spotlighted for its work on Navan’s $923 million IPO, which also took place amidst the government shutdown. Additionally, the firm was noted for having worked as counsel to the lead underwriters in connection with StubHub's $800 million IPO.

Peinsipp credited the firm’s unique structure for its continued success, noting, “We are extraordinarily team-oriented. We go to market as a group, making sure that all the right people are involved.”
